Heat, Police, and Tian'anmenPosted by Joel Martinsen, June 22, 2005 2:22 PM
 The intense heat here in Beijing has prompted some interesting newspaper photos. In the past few days we have been treated to elephants bathing, pandas frolicking on ice-cubes, and children playing in fountains. Another popular theme is police officers drinking water at Tian'anmen Square. Photographers from China News Service (top) and Beijing Morning Post (lower left) captured images of citizens bringing bottled water to security personnel on duty. The Beijing Morning Post article points out, however, that the water carriers belong to Tian'anmen's management committee, which must keep several hundred security and janitorial workers conscious as they maintain the Square's image in their formal uniforms. The Beijing News (bottom right), offers an action photo of a police officer drinking water in front of the Gate. Links: (in Chinese)

+ Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes. + People: Chan Koon-chung (2004.06): John Koon-chung Chan profiled; He is one of the most experienced players in Chinese media, having founded magazines, written and produced feature films and TV dramas, started and run a satellite TV station, and written novels, collections of essays and even a treatise on Marxist literary criticism. + People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions.
